Ingredients

• 1 package (2 sheets) Puff pastry sheets
• 200 grams Brie cheese
• 120 grams Cherry preserves
• 30 grams Chopped pecans
• 5 grams Fresh thyme leaves (optional)
• 1 large Egg
• 15 ml Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Thaw the puff pastry sheets per the package instructions. Roll out one sheet at a time onto a lightly floured surface.

Step 3

Cut each puff pastry sheet into 12 equal squares (approximately 6 cm x 6 cm). You'll have 24 squares total.

Step 4

Gently press each square into the wells of a mini muffin tin to form small pastry cups, ensuring the edges slightly overlap the top.

Step 5

Cut the Brie cheese into 24 small cubes, about 1 cm on each side, and place one cube into the center of each pastry cup.

Step 6

Top the Brie with about 1/2 teaspoon of cherry preserves.

Step 7

Sprinkle a few chopped pecans on top of the cherry preserves for crunch. Add a tiny pinch of fresh thyme leaves if desired for an herby note.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Lightly brush the edges of the puff pastry with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 9

Bake the pastry cups in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the tray from the oven and allow the cups to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a serving platter.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy these delightful Brie Cherry Pastry Cups with friends and family!
